Welcome to Our Creative Studio!

There’s more than one way to get creative at Whidbey Island Art Parties!
We’re a family-run creative studio in Freeland, Washington, offering painting parties, arts and crafts workshops, open studio experiences, and private gatherings.
Some people come to learn something new. Others come to spend time with friends, celebrate a special occasion, or just enjoy making something with their hands.
Whatever brings you here, our goal is simple: have fun, try something creative, and make it your own!
No experience necessary!
Classes & Workshops
A Little Guidance, a Lot of Creativity!
Our classes and workshops are scheduled events where everyone comes together to create a particular project.
Acrylic painting is where we got our start, but we love exploring other arts and crafts, too! Depending on the event, you might be painting a canvas, making greeting cards, learning a new technique, or trying something completely different.
Some projects are guided step by step, while others are more relaxed, with help and suggestions available whenever you need them.
We’ll provide the supplies needed for the project, and you’ll leave with something you made yourself!
And don’t worry—we don’t expect everyone’s creations to look exactly alike. Want to change the colors, add something extra, or put your own spin on the design? We encourage it!
Great for: Beginners, experienced crafters, date nights, friends, families, and anyone who wants to try something new.
Open Studio & Creative Time
Not Sure What You Want to Make? That’s Part of the Fun!
Sometimes you just want to get creative without having a particular project in mind.
Our Open Studio experiences give you the opportunity to explore different materials, discover new interests, and work at your own pace.
Maybe you’ll arrive with an idea you’ve been wanting to try, or maybe something around the studio will catch your eye and inspire you!
We’re happy to answer questions, share ideas, demonstrate techniques, and help you get started. But there’s no need to follow a particular design or keep up with a group.
Just come ready to explore and see where your creativity takes you!
Great for: Curious beginners, independent creators, families, casual crafting, and anyone who wants a little creative time without committing to a specific project.
Available activities, materials, and pricing may vary by session. Check our schedule for upcoming Open Studio opportunities.
Private Parties & Group Events
Your People, Your Party, Your Creative Adventure!
Looking for something fun to do with friends, family, coworkers, or a group?
We offer private creative experiences for birthdays, celebrations, team-building events, family gatherings, and other special occasions.
Choose a project for your group, and we’ll help everyone through the experience. We can host your gathering at our Freeland studio or bring certain activities to a location you provide.
We take care of the project supplies, setup, and cleanup so you can focus on having fun!
Great for: Birthdays, celebrations, family gatherings, clubs, work groups, and getting friends together for something different.
